Tho prosperity of the liquor interest, covering every department ol it. depends out roly on the maintenance of this army. It cjiiii "t live without it?It never did live without it. So long as the lk|UOr interest maintains its prevcut prospi ions condition, it will cause America the sacrifice of 110,000 men every year. The effect is inseparable Irons the cause. The cost to the country of the lir-.il ?r traffic is a sum so stupendous that any figures which we should due to give w mid convict us of trilling. 1 he amount of life absolutely destroyed, the amount of industry sacrificed, the am unit of bread transiVrmed into poison, the shame, the unavailing sorrow, tho crime, the pover ty, the pauperism, the brutality, the wild was c of vital and financial resour ces, make an aggregate so vast?so in calcul.ildy vast, that the only wonder is that the American people do not rise as ouc man and declare that this curse shall exist no longer, Dilottanto conventions arc held ou the subject of peace, by men and women who find it necessary to fid dle to keep themselves nwako. .V hue and cry is raised about women suUrago, as if any wr ing which may be involved in woman's lack of the suffrage could be compared to Wrongs attached to the liquor i itcrcst! , Pors any sane woman doubt that wo mon are suffering a thousand times more from rum than from' any political disa bility 1 Tho truth is t hat there is no question before American people to day that be gins to match iu importance the temper unce questi>u. The question of Ameri can slavery w.is never anything but n baby by the side of this and we prophesy that within ten years if not within fivo the whole country will he awake to it, and divided up'jn it. The organizations of tho liquor interest, the vast funds at itscoinmnnd tho universal 'eeling nmoug those ?hose busioes is pitted against the national pio^pcrity and the public mor als ?the-o aro enough to show that, up on one sido of this matter at least, the present condition of things aud the social and political questions that lie iu tho immediate future are app-cUoadod. Tho liqupfliutcrest kuuvr there is to be a great "struggle, und it is preparing to mccb4t. i'oople both in this coMtry and in' Great IJritain are beginning to see the enormity of this business, are begpffiing to realise that Christian civ ilization is actually poisoned at its fouu tain,^pid that there can be no purification <d" it iTr>>il the sourco of the poisou is drierrup.

Tho California wiucs are a disappointment and a fail are, and the Western wines are the same Neither the dry nor the sparkling Catawba takes the place of anything imported. They are not popular wines, and we congratulate the county that they neyer can be. The lager beer interc.it is endeavoring,in convention, to separate itself from the whisky interest, claiming to be holier and more respect able than that. They are all to be lumped together. They are nil opposed to sobriety, and, in tho end, we shall find them all fighting side by side for existence against the determined iudigna tion of u long suffering pe iple. A respectable English m.igazitie re ports, as a fact encouraging moment, that of the fifty thousand clergymen of the church <>f England as many as four thousand actually abstain from ?ho use of spirits ! So, eleven-twelfths of the clergymen of the English church con sent to be dumb dogs on the temperance question! How large tho proportion of wine di inking clergymen may he in this country we do uot km* w, but we do know wine glass stops the mouth on the subject of temperance, whoever may hold it. A wine di inking elorgymau is u saldier disarmed. He is not only not I worth a straw in a fight; he is a part of kthe impedimenta of tho temperance hrthy. We "have a good many cuoh~ti> I carry, who ought to bo nshamctl of theitl I selves, and who very soon will be Temperance laws are beiug passed by the various legislatures, which th -y must sustain, or go ov r, soul and body, to the liquor interest a;;d influence.

There can bo no concession ; nnd no compromise ou the part of ' temperance men, an 1 no quarter to the 1 foe. Tin- great curse of our country and our r ice must be destroye 1. Meantime the tramp, tramp, tramp sounds on,?tho tramp of sixty thousand yearly victims. Some are Lcsot ted and stupid, some nie wild with hilarity and dance along the dusty way, some roc! along in pitiful weakness, some wreak their mad aud murderous impulses on one another, or on the helpless wo men and children whoso destinies arc iiuited to theirs, some stop in wayside I debaucheries and infamies for a moment, some go hound in chaius from which j they seek in vain to wrench their bleed ing wrists, and all are poisoned in body and soul, and all are doomed to death. Wherever they move, crime, poverty, shame, wretchedness nnd despair hover in awful shadows. There is no bright side to the picture. We forget: there is just one. The men who make this army get rich. Their children nrc robed in purple ami fine linen, and live upon dainties. Some of them arc regarded as respectable members of society, and they hold conventions to protect their inter ests ! Still the tramp, tramp, tramp goes on, nnd before this article can sec the light, five thouMtud inure of our poisoned army wiil have hidden their shame and disgrace in the grave.?Dr. F. G. f/iif/ttitd ; Scribncr't. A Brooklyn Heights Romance. a TU.E (?V TttUE lovk?parental opposition?and final happiness. The fashionable pi roles of Brooklyn Heights are uot a little exeitod over a little romance in real and high life which has reached its cuhuiuating point in a runaway marriage during tho past woek. One of tho nabobs of that .aristocratic quarter is a Mr. W??, who Uvea on Hioks street, near the Mansion House aud who has an only daughter, who is the heroine of this little adventure. This lud?, who possesses the full share of youth and baaary that is to be looked lor ?i the heroine of a love* story ^ lias for some mouths been faforably reoeiviag j the attention of a Mr. M-, the son of another wealthy patrioian of the City of Churches. This gentleman is said to be a model of manly honor and integrity, and certainly commands tho respect of a large circle of friends, who unite in say ing that no whisper injurious to his char acter has ever been uttered: that he is possessed of youth, wealth , and many amiable qualities, and that he is in all respects "a good match" for any ludy. r? upnonrn. hot/ever that Mr. and Mrs. W-did not sharo iu this general opinion of young M*, nnd, although it is said thoy could give no tangible explana tion for doing so, they steadily discoura ged his attentions to their daughter and threw every obstacle in the way of their meeting. Opportunities for meeting however, nnd even for confidential and Me a tele converse, were not to bedented to those whose social "spheres were so nearly identical, and thoir mutual uffec tum appeared to be only stimulated by the discouragements with which the el ders attempted to.surround it. Noarly two months ago Mr. M.'s business re quired him to make a brief visit to Kurope, an 1 being desirous of securing thai promise upon which ho believed Iii? future happiness todepeud, he made a formal proposal of marriage to Miss W was accepted, and then proceeded atonoc to notify her father of this fact, and to plead for his consent. The old gentle man received him with chilling,com tc-sy listened to his little burst of rhapsody, promises of life-long fidelity and to his request for the paternal sanction, and then gave the applicant au ice-hath, by saying, "No, sir; I will never consent to ? your uuiou With my daughter." After this It was in vain that Mr. M. expostu - lated and reasoned. The paternal mind j was fixod,<nnd the young gentleman was finally provoked to say, '-T will not-prom isc that we will not marry without your consent.-' '?b this threat Mr. \Y replied; j "My daughter will never without my consent." The y6"ng man-believed ho knew better than that, but it docs not appear that he said so. A perfect un dcrttanding of their future proeoeliu^i i appears, however, to have b.-o:i establish ed immediately afterwards botwecu tho young lady and \\crfi wee, and iho latter soon after sailed for Kurope, returning after ad absence of about six weeks. It is supposed that tho young couple mot soon alter his return from the old World and lasj Tuesday the litilj coup d'c.tal, which they had evidently arranged with great care, was effected. Guthat morn ing, the young lady's parents buing ab sent on a brief visit to a watering-place in New Jersey she began making prepa rations lor goiug .out as if for a casual drive or shopping tour. The carriago was ordered, and the lady was busy with her toilet when her aunt, wh) happened to be iu the roams, uoticcd and rallied her upon the extreme care which she was devoting to the arrangement of her hair. Then she observed wilh some surprise that, although it was iu the i morning, the young lady was assuming a very elegant and expensive siik which she hud lately had made, but she ouly received the careless auswar, "Oh, ouc likes to be presentable oven if it be only for a drive iu the -Park." Then the young lady sailed grandly down tho stairways, entered her carriage, and. after privately instr-ictiiig the coach man, was driven off. Late that after noon the same sarriagc drovo up to the door, but containing only a messenger, who entered the bouse, sent fur the aunt and handed that astonished lady a letter from her niece, containing what Dickons has described as "four closoly written sheets of extra superfine, wire wovcu penitence" Tho letter was unsealed, and but vaguely addressed, ami the uuut in her anxiety, read it through.. It do scribed the wedding, which had been a gorgeous ono, in tho M paternal man sion, but conducted by a Unitarian cler gj man, in tho absence from tho eity ol the Rev. Dr. Van Dyke, at whose church the whole party were worshippore, con tained whole pages of argu .?cot?, excu ses, and appeals for forgiveness, and fiually ex plained that the writer was theo pleasantly settled at the B? House (on Fifth avenae, very near Washington I square), and was "perfectly happy.' The letter dropped trot, the ucrveless bands of the aunt and when, later in the afternoon, the* brother und the parents of the young lady returned home, tho scenes which followed may well be im ( a-ined. The rrattcr Still remains as it is now left, with tho doscrtod parents still preserving their attitude ot hostility towards their son-iq law, but with the young hero and haroine happy in their union, and hopoful offra ultimate recon ciliation with tho parental powers. Fighting The Worm. The Tallahassee Florulian contains the details of sumo experiments recently made in that vicinity with a mixture of Paris green and flour to. destroy the oot ?.? .r,;n .ratidwhinh pr nrrtdoathrri ly successful. Tho information taiued in n loiter from Messrs. Earle & Perkins, ofthat city, who, one day last week, visited tho Lake plantation o? Mr. Henry Winthrop, of Leon County, and witnessed the applicantion, of the mix ture to a cut of five acres. The com pound was ono pound of Paris green Us to twenty four pounds of flour, end the result is stated usfollows : At the time of the experiment, the entire eut had caterpillar in all stays. The application was made on the centre rows by dusting the poison over the top of the plant with a common sifter. Its twenty four hours not a lire caterpillar was to be seen. Wc examined the one carefully; tho top leaves were crisped; the stock and remaining leaves looking as li-e.- li and vigorous as if the prcpara tion had not been applied. On a portion of the leaves we found qnito a number of dead worms, but none living, although the bottom leaves showed no signs of poison. Two feet from tuts Stalk, tad where tho poison hod not been applied, we lound a stalk containing about fifteen caterpillars, green and black, busy eat ing the cotton; so numerous were ihey we oouuted five worms on one lent. We wero told by the managers that where the poison had been applied a number of ^ff worms had died, falling to the ground and were eaten by tho chickens, yet the chickens still livu ou. Wo ex a mined the cut where the poisou bad been applied a.id could find do nnjfim, which demonstrates to our satisfaction; that even if they do uot eat the poison, |lhe preparation being dutasflpflni* &he) worms desert tho plant and senk mow healthy quarter*.. A preparation of ona pound of Perhf j green and twenty four pounds of flour was made aud dusted in our over the cotton containing the In fittcen seconds ono caterpillar leaped from the stalle aud was eaten by Ahe chiohens, others orawled to the main body of the plant, working th Mr way to the ground, while others remained in a sluggish condition, a sample of which we bruught to our office and in a short titno this pest was dead as lieotor. Wo havo since bettn? tu Id by parties who visited this oottou in the afternoon that no sign of caterpillar could de seen yet the appli cation had only beeo made that morning. We visited this cut the next afternoon Ihcompany with Dr. A. B. Hawkins, W. 11. Wilson, Ceo. Lewis, Chas. C. Pearce, Mr- Winthrop, Mr. Pago and a colored mau from M. Pe tree's place, and exam ined the cut, and afteen diligent search not a worin could !<e found. Mr. Pcaroo noticed live worms on a stalk that had not received the application and dead ones on the next row where it had bqen applied. All of the parties left fully convinced that it was a complete success. Wednesday the first application was made, and on Friday night this cut was visited with a very heavy rain, and still the poison romuinod oa the plant., the flour making a paste which is difficult to wash off. Mr. Pope,one of Mr. F.^R. Cotton's managers, who has been experi menting, report* that after tho poison had been applied the worms in the next twouty-four hours deserted this cut, and none could Lc found. Mr. Is!crt his other manager, visited this cotton, and reports about as Mr. Pope, Ho ?h? stated t''ttt this cotton had put on a new growth, showing the poison did not afloat the plant. Mr. Rufus Tucker, a practical planter, also triou the poison, and says it is a complete success. Ho had worms in acut, made the appi;ca tion, anil next day could find no live worms, dead ones appearing on the ground and stalk.
